This is a problem that could easily be solved by proper punishment, instead of hitting the majority of sensible drinkers!

It doesn't though seanjo. It hits the £1.99 for 3 ltrs of cheap cider drinkers, not the grab a bottle of plonk on the way home drinkers. A normal bottle of 13% vino is 9-10 units. That would mean in most cases the shop could quite easily decrease their price. Even a bottle of voddy is ~26units. That's less than £12

Still, we need a arrest em and birch em policy, not a tax the poor policy!
